Jim Dickson – Guide and Storyteller

Jim Dickson is a guide and storyteller based on the North Coast of Northern Ireland. This stretch of Northern Ireland is filled with nooks and crannies, glens and hills, forests and cliff walks, people and stories so going off the beaten track is what many people want instead of going to the usual iconic sites.

Wee Jim is the man who will take you there. He is a coach tour guide who regards it as a privilege to represent our region and tell the stories of the land to our visitors.

The Belfast man has extensive knowledge in the history of our land, its myths and the many legends which our visitors love to hear about.

And not only that, he has this natural way with visitors who  are quick to compliment Wee Jim on his infectious enthusiasm.

Wee Jim does tours with Glenarm Tourism, Giant’s Causeway Coastal Route Tours and Bespoke Tours and he also works collaboratively with other Live It Experience It members to ensure visitors get the best experience while they are here.

You’ll hear folk tales, stories about banshees, story poems and ancient Ireland’s history, castles, standing stones, archaeology, local wildlife and fauna and you will even get to hear about our fairies and leprechauns.
